Saverio Giovacchini HIST457 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/21/2011	I would recommend him to anyone. There are a lot of readings, but outside of the first book, which is brutal, they are fairly enjoyable. If you take good notes in class and have some idea about the readings, tests and exams are a breeze. Tests are ID based usually with a mini-essay or two, nothing too difficult, very straighforward. But beware, he does like to call on people in class, so try and at least be familiar with the readings to avoid embarassment. But he is an extremely nice man who is very approachable outside of class. When I talked with him outside of class, it seemed like he actually cared about me as a person, rather than as simply a student. I would recommend turning in a rough draft of the final paper. It lightens the workload come exam time, and he also gives good feedback. Overall an enjoyable class if you are willing to put in the work, because you will get a lot out of it, and will be rewarded for your work.

Two papers and a few exams that he graded generously. Great class made even better because it wasn't hard to do well!
